A grave disappointment; stick to the earlier ones,
By
This review is from: Historic Manhattan Apartment Houses (Paperback)
I bought this book expecting more of what Alpern has covered in his previous books: more buildings, with more stories, and more floor plans. Instead, while some material is new, quite a few of these buildings have been covered in his earlier books. And there are no floor plans at all. If you are an afficionado of great Manhattan apartment houses, avoid this book and stick with "New York's Fabulous Luxury Apartments" instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Evolution of the NYC luxury apartment building,
By saskatoonguy (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Historic Manhattan Apartment Houses (Paperback)
This extremely slender, 84-page book covers 20 luxury apartment buildings in New York City, each of which is illustrated by at least one large b&w photograph. For each, the author discusses the building's history and unique features. Buildings covered include the Normandy, San Remo, and Hampshire House. This book has no floor plans, in contrast to Alpern's earlier work, 'New York's Fabulous Luxury Apartments.'
